Arizona Weather Force has issued zoom-in wind maps that will affect even some of the metro zones of the state for Monday into Tuesday.
On December 6th, over the group and app, Arizona Weather Force issued a Wind Advisory for the Colorado River Valley (Reference A Below). This looks to still happen as a cold front will move down into the Intermountain West later on Monday and into Tuesday. The cold air will filter down with the warmer Arizona air to give what is called thermal support. Strong offshore winds will be likely in spots, and those spots will be where the zoom-in maps show, which includes the Yavapai, Gila County zones, and even some of Maricopa County in areas like New River, Cave Creek, Wittmann, and Rio Verde
Use the zoom-in maps below for your area along with the Raiden Storm Wind Intensity Scale –
